Forgiveness is dismissing
the blame.
Choices were made that
caused the hurt;
I could have chosen
differently,
but I didn't.

Forgiveness is looking
at the pain,
learning the lessons
it has produced,
and understanding
what we have learned.

Forgiveness allows us to move on
towards a better understanding
of universal love
and our true purpose.

Forgiveness is knowing that love
is the answer to all questions,
and that we all
are in some way connected.

Forgiveness is starting over
with the knowledge
that we have gained.

Please forgive me, I am asking for a chance
to somehow prove my love for you. I am very sorry.
I know that it does not make it right.
I do love you.
